ST. LOUIS, Mo., June 18, 2013 - The St. Louis Cardinals signed nine players today including seven draft picks and two non-drafted free agents headlined by one of their first round draft picks, the 28th overall selection from St. Joseph's Regional High School in New Jersey, left-handed pitcher Rob Kaminsky.

"Robert fits everything that we are looking for as a scouting department," said Cardinals Scouting Director Dan Kantrovitz. "He has outstanding stuff. He has plus fastball velocity, excellent command and an out-pitch in his curveball that was one of the best in the country this year. In addition to his stuff, he is a tremendous kid and a tireless worker. Although only 18-years old, we think he is mature enough mentally and advanced enough physically to hit the ground running."
